Can an app get kids moving after cancer?
NCT ID NCT05792566
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a mobile app called ATOMIC, designed to help children, teens, and young adults who survived childhood cancer become more physically active. Researchers will work with 35 survivors aged 10 to 30 to see how easy the app is to use and whether people like it. The goal is to learn if the app is a helpful tool, not yet to measure if it actually improves health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATOMIC mobile app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could offer a simple, engaging way for childhood cancer survivors to become more active, potentially improving their long-term health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage usability study with only 35 participants. It does not measure health outcomes, so even if the app is easy to use, it may not actually increase physical activity or improve health.
